Twenty and thirtysomething fans in the area for an all too rare appearance by those sublime antipodeans The Chills who haven't exactly been proliﬁc over their ﬁfteen years together. but whose every utterance is lapped up by fragile souls of good taste.

Glasgow

I The Holy Barbarians The Cathouse. Union Street. 248 6606. 8pm. £5.30 plus booking fee. lan Astbury‘s latest musical outlet is a looser. far less precious combo than The Cult became. and well worth checking out if you've always been interested in the pseudo-Red lndian warlord‘s hufﬁng and pufﬁngs. Their ﬁrst album Cream was recorded in Astbury's former hometown of Liverpool (and possibly named in tribute to the great Liverpudlian club night?) Set the controls for strangulated vocals-a-go-go.

I Puressence and Push King Tut's Wah Wah Hut. St Vincent Street. 22l 5279. 8.30pm. £5. Ethereal noise merchants with a falsetto vocalist and a love of Joy Division and other serious 80s young men. with tnuch the same spine-tingling factor as our one Geneva.

I Jamiroquai The funny hats are still in evidence and Jamiroquai is still as funky and as proudly retro as ever. The new album Travelling Without Moving is an absolute cracker, delivering chart t0pping singles next to slow instrumental workouts. Whatever your opinion on the man himself, he writes and sings brilliantly and for those reasons alone he deserves respect. BarrowIand. Glasgow. Sun 13.

JAE
